A lot of things in the world are bad. Heroin abuse. (Yes I said abuse... it used to be a respected medicine.) Meth abuse. (It still is a recognized medicine in a few contexts.) Political abuse. They all will invite their own destruction, perhaps accompanied by the political restriction of natural rights in an attempt to curb them.

But the thing that is guaranteed to kill in misery is to say, along with the fool: No God. Want to go to hell as a society? Do just that.

I had some crack for breakfast this morning. It's the best.

Hateful demoncrats are the worst.

Leftism is the worst thing in the world.

And it is just as addictive as Heroin.

There’s a Hobson’s choice. Either one is horrible beyond belief.

Want to fix the problem? Sell DRUGS, go to jail for 10 years, no exceptions, sell it again and go to jail for 29 years, no exceptions. Do it a third time, you die in jail.

I fully agree.

That Duarte guy has the right idea.

That solution is grotesque and crude, but correct.

Barry is pardoning dozens or hundreds of his druggie buddies.

It’s intentional. The globalists are doing to us what they did to the Chinese during the Opium Wars. Only on several fronts.

After 30+ years of helping addicts I conclude street meth, lab meth, and alcohol are by far the 3 worse and most destructive. Then tobacco and prescription drugs for number of deaths, health problems and social problems. Next the designer drugs like bath salts. Then cracking coca in. ..then heroin.

I’m all for that.

I hope you’re wrong. My son was introduced to meth by his business partner as help to get through working long hours. He ended up losing his business, his family, his house and his sanity. It was awful to watch. It was like he had schizophrenia after awhile and looked like a skeleton, and he ended staying with either me or his sister and it was awful for us to have to deal with.
he somehow quit without rehabilitation and he has been doing great for a few years now. I pray everyday he will never go back.

Meth addicts can fully recover, know lots that are free for years. I admit I was surprised how healthy they are considering what they did to their brains.

I have a family member who is 121 days clean from meth, she will be fully healthy with God’s help.

I lost a fiend to heroin decades ago.
He went from a funny, hard working, friendly, talented, smart person to a hopeless addict within months.
A couple of years later he ‘disappeared’, no one knew where he was - not even his family.

I will never forget the massive change in behavior, health, hygene and attitude that all occurred the first 1-2 months.
I miss him. I really do.
